National Mentoring Partnerships With Boy Scouts of America and Big Brothers/Big Sisters of America |

The work of Alpha Phi Alpha, Big Brothers/Big Sisters of America and Boy Scouting to prepare our children to be confident and responsible adults is important to our future. Alpha Phi Alpha and Big Brothers/Big Sisters formed a national partnership in 1990 to match youth with Fraternity adult volunteers. Alpha Chapters use Scouting as a resource for youth development while operating their own Scouting units and providing Alumni Brothers to serve as council and district Scout leaders. |

Alpha Head Start Project (Male Partnership Initiative) |

ALPHA and the NAACP |
|
|
Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity today continues to serve as a light to the community. The Fraternity is involved in a campaign to assist the financially-troubled NAACP. In assisting the country's oldest civil rights organization, the Fraternity has renewed its long-standing partnership with the NAACP and pledged to donate funds to the group. Alpha Phi Alpha donated more than $30,000 to the NAACP during the Fraternity's 89th Anniversary Convention in Orlando, Florida. In addition, the Fraternity's chapters are giving financial support to the NAACP by purchasing life memberships. Alpha Phi Alpha similarly aided the NAACP in 1960 when Fraternity Brothers Thurgood Marshall and then-General President Judge Myles A. Paige led an effort to restore the freedom-fighting organization to leadership and power. In the early 1980s, Alpha Phi Alpha again supported the NAACP and several other black organizations with a $1 million fundraising campaign. |
